Answer

  1. The volume of the rectangular tank is,

    100\times 20\times 40 =80000 cubic centimeters


    The volume of the bucket is

    \pi r^2h \approx 3.14\cdotp 9^2\cdotp 20 = 5086.8 cubic centimeters


    Divide the volume of the tank with the volume of the bucket

    80000 \div 5086.8 \approx 15.6


    So B is the choice
